This volume is the result of the Tyndale House Workshop in Greek Prepositions: Cognitive Linguistic Approaches to Lexicography and Theology, held from 30 June1 July in 2017 in Cambridge, England. The aim of that event was to apply Cognitive Linguistic approaches to Greek lexical semantics and theology, a trajectory now presented in the essays below. As the organizers of the workshop in Cambridge and now editors of the present volume, we are grateful for the partnership and support of Tyndale House, particularly the assistance and encouragement of Peter J. Williams and Simon Sykes. Furthermore, the workshop as a whole was made possible by a generous and voluntary grant from the trustees of the Sapere Family Foundation, for which we remain extremely thankful.

The workshop intentionally cultivated a multidisciplinary perspective, bringing together linguists, classicists, lexicographers, and theologians alongside biblical scholars to consider the phenomena of postclassical Greek prepositions. That same interdisciplinarity now characterizes the chapters below, appropriately reflecting the complexity and importance of the topic in view. The participation of respected scholars such as Dirk Geeraerts (Linguistics, University of Leuven) and Anne Thompson (Classics, University of Cambridge) greatly enriched the discussion during the workshop and, despite not appearing in this volume, they certainly contributed to the refinement and integration of the essays published here. The same can be said about the participation of those who attended the workshop and contributed their own expertise. We are also pleased to have included a chapter by Travis Wright that was not originally part of the workshop but that nevertheless complements the aims of this volume to stimulate further research into the semantics of postclassical Greek prepositions and its implications for biblical interpretation.
